Mr.Pranjal, Hari, Shah – thanking all of you for very nice and proper arrangements of my West Bengal (Kalimpong) and Sikkim (Lachung, Lachen & Pelling) trip. But initially I was very upset and doubtful about my trip by reviewing the hotels in internet you are suggesting, but Pranjal as per your assurance and confidence – I have agreed my trip with you and I am really happy at my successful completion of my 8 Nights/9 Days trip. I was wrong – I should not judge the services of the hotels by simply seeing few negative reviews in internet. One special thanks to you because you have made my wife’s Birth Day a memorable one – we have enjoyed a lot in Tsango Lake on that day. Thanks once again.

Mr.Dasgupta, Krishna, Bikrom and all of your organization who have contribution towards my memorable trip of Guwahati – Kaziranga, I am really thankful to you for the very nice, systematic arrangements. Actually this was our annual trip, I and my family once in a year use to travel and because of that I was more conscious for this trip, but everything has gone well and simply memorable.

Dr.Amitshekhar Dasgupta, Bangalore

Thanks so much, it was a great trip. Few suggestions: 1. Vehicle for Tsongo lake was bad, smoke emitting into the vehicle. 2. Driver should have guided better, the Darjeeling driver Mr. Manoj was great, he guided very well. Overall, it was a great trip, we are really happy. Thank you.

Hi to all Traveloearth Team Members, especially your Swift Dzire Driver Pabitra, thanking you all for the very nice support and well planned tour itinerary of Meghalaya & Assam. Actually we have planned this trip to make an refreshment and to break our daily routine schedules of office, work and all here in Delhi. Finally we have approached to you as one of our friend suggesting your company’s service, but it was simply fantastic. Soon we will meet once again for an another memorable trip of North East.

Bikrom What’s Up? I think all you are busy in handling your routine guest but sorry for dropping a few words of my 11 Days Arunachal, Assam trip experience little bit late. It was really a good trip, overall experiences are Ok and fine but the travel distances in your tour itinerary and in actual it’s little bit differ. We use to travel 6-7 Hrs daily but never feels boring because of it’s scenic beauties and snow laden mountains of Arunachal. We have travelled lots of Hill Stations in India like Himachal, Jammu – Kashmir etc. but the Arunachal Pradesh is quiet unique, actually the people of Arunachal are really very Good, their simplicity and helping attitudes really makes me impressed.

Mr.Dasgupta, very good arrangements. I really appreciate your patience while I have found you standing in a long queue of Elephant Safari booking counter in Kaziranga National Park and finally you have managed our safari during this peak period. Although personally I feel, kaziranga require more care and safety.
